Deepwater Trolling For Lake Chelan Mackinaw - Mack's Lure

Cookin’ YourGrilled MackinawLake TroutMackinaw lake trout are verysimilar to the salmon. They areabundant in the waters of LakeChelan, Priest Lake, Lake Tahoe,and other area lakes. They have atender pink flesh that is very reminicentof the Salmon. Althoughthere are many ways to cook thisfish; baked, broiled, fried, grilled,poached and steamed, the recipebelow is one of my favorites. I liketo serve this with a Wild HuckleberrySauce.Ingredients:• Large lake trout, cleaned• 2 tablespoons oil• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orangejuice• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries,huckleberries, or blueberries• 1 tablespoon fresh basilDirections:Place the trout on a large piece ofaluminum foil. Rub the trout withoil and season with salt and pepper.Pour orange juice over the trout.Place berries over the trout. Fold upthe aluminum foil to create a sealedpacket. Place the packet on the grilland cook for about 4 - 10 minutesper side (depending on the size ofyour fish). Remove from the grilland let rest for 5 minutes. Carefullyopen the foil packet (there will besteam) and sprinkle with the basil.LET’S EAT!!!Photo of the MonthQuestion of the MonthHave a question? We’d loveto answer it!
